Is it too cold for 4-wk old chicks to move outside with a heat lamp when night temps are mid 40's??

Is a ceramic heat better then a red light for heat in a Chicken tractor for 5 week chicks

Update: They are all doing great! They sleep all over the place now. They are 6 weeks old at this point. Still using a heat lamp due to it getting in the low 30's at night now. I plan to winter-proof their coop VERY soon! By noon it's in the 50's/60's, so I let them out in their run when I'm home. They love it.

Do some chicks feather more quickly then others? Mine are 4 weeks old today and look the same except their heads are still a little fluffy.
